<h2><a name="pooling" id="pooling">Connection Pooling</a></h2>
    <p>This module manages database connections, in a manner
    optimised for the platform.  On non-threaded platforms,
    it provides a persistent connection in the manner of
    classic LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql, Perl/PHP/Python).
    On threaded platform, it provides an altogether more
    scalable and efficient <em>connection pool</em>, as
    described in <a href="http://www.apachetutor.org/dev/reslist">this
    article at ApacheTutor</a>.  Note that <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dbd.html">mod_dbd</a></code>
    supersedes the modules presented in that article.</p>

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="connecting" id="connecting">Connecting</a></h2>

    <p>To connect to your database, you'll need to specify
    a driver, and connection parameters. These vary from
    one database engine to another. For example, to connect
    to mysql, do the following:</p>

<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">DBDriver mysql
DBDParams host=localhost,dbname=pony,user=shetland,pass=appaloosa</pre>


    <p>You can then use this connection in a variety of other
    modules, including <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code>,
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbd.html">mod_authn_dbd</a></code>, and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_lua.html">mod_lua</a></code>.
    Further usage examples appear in each of those modules'
    documentation.</p>

    <p>See <code class="directive">DBDParams</code> for connection string
    information for each of the supported database drivers.</p>

<h2><a name="API" id="API">Apache DBD API</a></h2>

<h2><a name="prepared" id="prepared">SQL Prepared Statements</a></h2>
    <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dbd.html">mod_dbd</a></code> supports SQL prepared statements on behalf
    of modules that may wish to use them.  Each prepared statement
    must be assigned a name (label), and they are stored in a hash:
    the <code>prepared</code> field of an <code>ap_dbd_t</code>.
    Hash entries are of type <code>apr_dbd_prepared_t</code>
    and can be used in any of the apr_dbd prepared statement
    SQL query or select commands.</p>

    <p>It is up to dbd user modules to use the prepared statements
    and document what statements can be specified in httpd.conf,
    or to provide their own directives and use <code>ap_dbd_prepare</code>.</p>
	
	<div class="warning"><h3>Caveat</h3>
	When using prepared statements with a MySQL database, it is preferred to set
	<code>reconnect</code> to 0 in the connection string as to avoid errors that
	arise from the MySQL client reconnecting without properly resetting the
	prepared statements. If set to 1, any broken connections will be attempted
	fixed, but as mod_dbd is not informed, the prepared statements will be invalidated.

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="security" id="security">SECURITY WARNING</a></h2>

    <p>Any web/database application needs to secure itself against SQL
    injection attacks.  In most cases, Apache DBD is safe, because
    applications use prepared statements, and untrusted inputs are
    only ever used as data.  Of course, if you use it via third-party
    modules, you should ascertain what precautions they may require.</p>
    <p>However, the <var>FreeTDS</var> driver is inherently
    <strong>unsafe</strong>.  The underlying library doesn't support
    prepared statements, so the driver emulates them, and the
    untrusted input is merged into the SQL statement.</p>
    <p>It can be made safe by <em>untainting</em> all inputs:
    a process inspired by Perl's taint checking.  Each input
    is matched against a regexp, and only the match is used,
    according to the Perl idiom:</p>
    <div class="example"><pre><code>  $untrusted =~ /([a-z]+)/;
  $trusted = $1;</code></pre></div>
    <p>To use this, the untainting regexps must be included in the
    prepared statements configured.  The regexp follows immediately
    after the % in the prepared statement, and is enclosed in
    curly brackets {}.  For example, if your application expects
    alphanumeric input, you can use:</p>
    <div class="example"><p><code>
       <code>"SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE input = %s"</code>
    </code></p></div>
    <p>with other drivers, and suffer nothing worse than a failed query.
    But with FreeTDS you'd need:</p>
    <div class="example"><p><code>
       <code>"SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE input = %{([A-Za-z0-9]+)}s"</code>
    </code></p></div>
    <p>Now anything that doesn't match the regexp's $1 match is
    discarded, so the statement is safe.</p>
    <p>An alternative to this may be the third-party ODBC driver,
    which offers the security of genuine prepared statements.</p>
